Responsive Grants:
Requests for funding may be submitted at any time during the year, beginning with a brief letter of inquiry which should include: a description of the project, its goals and significance; participants; the timeframe; the project's total budget; the amount requested from the Foundation; and other existing or potential sources of funding.

Restrictions for Responsive Grants:
The Foundation's guidelines and resources do not allow the inclusion of South or Central Asia. Also, there is no separate category of support for travel, publications, translation or individual research, and funding is not generally provided for conferences.
